Anniversaries: 60, 60 & 175 years

Nicole's speech

Dear Dad

As your daughter I am very happy to congratulate you with this special event in your life:
your anniversary!

It is a great opportunity for me to say "thank you" for everything you have made and still make possible for me. You are always there for me, although we are separated by a million
km and a lot of water. However that does not stop you from always finding the time to solve my problems and give me great advice concerning my everyday life.

I cannot explain how much I would love to be next to you every day to feel the warmness of your arms, to see the kindness in your eyes and your constant care. 

I would like to thank you for the wonderful memories I have from travelling with you and I do hope that a lot more adventures will follow in the future ...

I would like to tell you how proud I am that you have succeeded in so many different things. It seems to me that there is no single problem, which you can not overcome.
You always have a target and you do everything in your power to reach it.

I admire you for all your responsibilities, self-confidence and harmony. You are role-model for me, because you give me inspiration.

I deeply wish for you to stay healthy and to succeed in everything new that comes accross in your life ...

... And I am proud of you and I will do everything for you to be proud of me.

You are a valuable person in my life, whom I highly respect, and I am glad that you are always there for me. 

Finally I would just like to say that ...
I simply love you!
